Chart notes

ANGKOR pressed outside of the leader and from the three path, vied entering the lane, led in upper stretch, drove clear approaching the furlong grounds and held sway. BOURBON HEIST laid off of the pace in the two path, shifted out to the five path in midstretch, rallied to gain place in the final furlong, then slowly closed in on the clear leader but needed more. DUCALE tracked inside, shifted to the three path into the turn, then to the four path entering the lane, but only managed to chase evenly while getting outkicked in the final furlong, then edged show late. AWESOME AARON brushed with an inner rival at the start, stalked along the inside, chased up the rail through the lane, vied for show late but got outfinished. INVULNERABLE set the pace in the two path, but was headed by an outer presser in upper stretch and faded between horses. W W CANDY lacked speed in the four to five path, fanned to the seven path entering the lane and failed to threaten while hanging on his left lead. EMBRACE broke slowly while bobbling slightly at the start, trailed along the inside and improved willingly. MR BOB brushed with an outer rival at the start, lacked speed along the inside, spun to the four path entering the lane and failed to factor between horses. STRAVA broke slowly, laid off of the pace in the three path and weakened. BLUE LIGHT broke outwardly, pursued from midpack in the four to five path and weakened.
